SMP Roadtrip - Edinburgh

It would be great if you could join us for the Edinburgh event (at City Chambers, 19th May 17:30-20:00). In addition to promoting the work of all our members across all our areas of partnership, this themed discussion for this event will focus on Governance via a special meeting of the Malawi Governance Forum from 15:00-17:00.
